Just Steps from the Pool
The Orchid villa is named for the fauna planted around the patios. It sits on our upper road between the Tower and Royal Palm villas.
Once you pull your eyes away from the view, you'll appreciate the comfortable and stylish, fully air conditioned, open concept living, dining and kitchen spaces. The dreamy kitchen is equipped with everything the home chef could desire. Custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and island, round out the amazingly relaxing space.
On each side of the great room, you'll find a king sized bedroom. Both are equal in size, and both have the same floor to ceiling, wall to wall sliding doors found in the living area. Ceiling fan, AC and TV are all included with your amazingly comfortable bed and bedding.
Straight down a set of stairs sits our panoramic property pool & hot tub area complete with covered dining area, rest room, bar and grill.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Beyond amazing!
We fell in love with Calichi at Picture Point the second we walked through the front door. Our 10 day stay last week in the Orchid villa exceeded our expectations. The villa was stunning. It was beautifully furnished and well stocked. The beds and pillows were the best we’ve ever slept on. So good, in fact, that we’ve ordered them from the same company Crate and Barrel. The views from the villa, pool, and hot tub were breathtaking. The sunrises were magical. The management services were exceptional…Mackenzie and Parker were very attentive to our needs. Needless to say, we loved everything about this place and will definitely be back.

Incredible views
Calichi is exactly as described. Gorgeous villas with incredible views. Trade winds kept the temperature cool. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Kitchen was well stocked. The drive down to Coral Bay is steep but easy. The drive to north shore beaches is about the same as from west side of island. Getting to Cruz Bay does take quite a bit longer.

Amazing Property
Our 5th year to St John and best property of them all.
Top of the island location is special.
Can see all the other islands and water from your deck. So many seating options that we were always so relaxed.
Breeze and cooler temps higher on mountain- never turned the air on due to cool air and constant breeze.
We stayed in orchid villa and inside is modern comforts meets Caribbean beauty outside the open glass windows.
Beds- Kitchen- beach chairs and all the items you need are 1st class.
They are building two more villas to complete the complex currently. Workers on site daytime but no real impact to our experience.
The grounds and landscape are fantastic and will be amazing as time goes on and the plants grow larger and make it an oasis for sure.
Road to house is all concrete so yes it is mountain road and steep and narrow at times, but it is easy to get used to and actually fun to drive.
If you stay here, you will not be disappointed.
Two thumbs up from someone who travels frequently and knows quality of experience!
